- Description
Amron International's Model 8206 Low Air Pressure Alarm System - Series E is designed for monitoring the output of an air compressor or air storage bank and alerts the tender or dive supervisor of a decrease in air pressure to the commercial diver. The Model 8206 Low Air Pressure Alarm System - Series E is a self contained modular unit, which when connected to an air pressure source, will sound an alarm when the air pressure decreases below the set point.
Both a visual and audio indication is provided. A two-color LED on the front panel indicates green when the air pressure is "normal" or above the set point, and changes to red when the air pressure drops below the pre-set pressure level. At the point at which the air pressure drops below the set point, an audio alarm with a pulsing tone of 2900 HZ, at a level of 90 dB (A) @ 2' is also activated.
The Model 8206 Low Air Pressure Alarm System - Series E is for air pressure alarm applications and is suitable for maximum systems service pressures of up to 1000 psi.
2 or 3 Year Extended Warranties are available for this product. Please refer to the Attachments tab for further information on the program.

Product FAQ's
How do I change the set point on my Low Pressure Alarm Monitor?
To adjust the unit to a different set point pressure, remove the cover of the unit and locate the pressure switch. To change the set point, turn the adjustment sleeve clockwise to increase the set point. Turn counterclockwise to decrease the set point. Cycle the pressure and check the set point several times to verify correctness and accuracy of the set point.
How is the Amron Low Pressure Alarm Monitor powered?
Power for the Low Pressure Alarm Monitor is provided by a 9-volt battery located in the battery drawer on the right hand side of the unit. Release and remove the drawer to replace the battery.
How do I connect the Low Pressure Alarm Monitor to my air system?
Pressure is sensed via the ¼" JIC male connector located on the left-hand side of the unit. Note: This is a dead end system, with no air being consumed or used by the Low Pressure Alarm Monitor.
What is the most common range used for commercial diving operations?
The 8206-D is by far the most popular version sold. The trip point range is ideal for commercial diving operations. Amron's Pressure Alarm Monitor is designed for monitoring the output pressure of a compressor or air storage bank and alert the operator of a decrease in air pressure. Example: If the output pressure on your compressor is set at 180 psi and the pressure were to drop below the set point on the 8206-D let say 100 psi then the alarm would sound and the LED light would turn red warning the operator of the loss of pressure.
How often will I have to change the 9-volt battery?
The 9-volt battery has enough power to operate the audio alarm for approximately 40 hours. The less the audio alarm is activated the longer the battery will last. On average you should change your battery every 30 days.
Can the 8206 Pressure Alarm Monitor be used with Helium?

HONOLULU (AP) — It's a once-in-a-generation occurrence: A competitive U.S. Senate race in Hawaii.
That's exactly what may be shaping up as two Democrats, Rep. Mazie Hirono and former Rep. Ed Case, square off in a primary Saturday for the chance to take on former Gov. Linda Lingle, the likely Republican Senate nominee.
Hawaii Senate races typically aren't very competitive because it's a solidly Democratic state with a history of letting incumbents keep their jobs. This contest is the first since 1976 without an incumbent running, and whoever wins will become just the sixth senator in the state's 53-year history, replacing retiring Democratic Sen. Daniel Akaka.
The outcome could also help determine the balance of power in Congress. Republicans need to pick up four seats to regain control of the Senate.
Lingle has four primary opponents, but she was expected to easily defeat them on Saturday and the put up a strong fight for the Senate seat. The 59-year-old is well-known after eight years as governor. While the state firmly backed its native son, Democrat Barack Obama, for president in 2008 and is certain to do so again, independents make up roughly one-third of the electorate and there's no telling how they'll vote in November.
"This is a winnable race," insists Lingle, who grew up in Jewish family of Democrats but declared herself Republican when she first ran for Maui City Council more than 30 years ago.
She'll need to cobble together a broad coalition of voters across the political spectrum to win, and do it with Obama at the top of the ticket. Obama, a Democrat, got two-thirds of the vote here four years ago.
While Lingle has twice won statewide, those victories came in years with no presidential race, though Democrats in other races did well in Hawaii then, too. She's also fighting against history: Hawaii hasn't had a Republican senator since Hiram Fong, one of the state's original senators.
Still, the former governor has advantages: She's raised $4.4 million so far and had $2 million in available cash as of late July, with more money raised and on hand than Hirono and Case combined.
Just one of Lingle's Republican challengers has raised any money, less than $34,000 in all.
Democrats acknowledge the race will be far from a shoo-in for them — regardless of who wins on Saturday.
The Democratic primary features a re-match of sorts between Hirono, 64, who came to the United States from Japan at age 8, and Case, 59, who was born on the Big Island and traces his Hawaii roots to 1896, when his great-grandparents moved to Honolulu from Kansas.
Hirono, the first Asian immigrant to serve in Congress, beat Case in a Democratic primary for Hawaii governor in 2002, then lost in the general election to Lingle, who served for eight years.
A poll released last month by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, four days before early voting began, found Case trailing Hirono by double-digits. It also said Lingle would be an underdog to either Democrat.
All three candidates are emphasizing independence, moderate views and bipartisanship as they don special leis, "talk story" with Hawaii locals and skip among the Pacific archipelago's islands to drum up votes.
"Nobody asks me: 'Are you a liberal?'" Hirono says. "They say, 'How can you help me?' How can we work together? That's how I proceed." She underscored that image in an ad featuring her with Rep. Don Young, an Alaska Republican.
Already looking to the general election in November, Hirono argues that Lingle's efforts to play up bipartisanship and play down her GOP ties are part of an "extreme makeover" that doesn't jibe with her time as governor.
Lingle takes issue with that characterization.
Case, for his part, has pitched himself as more moderate than Hirono and therefore a better bet to defeat Lingle. He said Hawaii has shown it doesn't have a problem voting for a homegrown Republican.
"National Republicans know full well that Hirono is not going to be able to earn the votes of that growing portion of the electorate," Case said. "They feel that that gives them an opportunity for a pickup."

Hello! I am very new to this!
So my goals for 2013 are to:
1)pay off all debts owed or at least settle and make pmts monthly
2) obtain first mortgage
Hi Everyone!
I am new to these boards but after only lurking for the last few weeks I have learned SOOOOO much! My primary goal is to buy my first home. I actually went through the entire process of pre-approval and having a home built only to lose my mortgage because my scores dropped at the last minute. So my goal is to get back to a 640 mid score before someone puts in an offer on the home that I had built for my family. I am pretty sure that my TU score is over 640 now as CK is reporting it as 631 and they have typically been about 30 points off from my actual FICO. I look forward to building my scores well past that 640 nby the end of the year.
Looking forward to the "700 Club"
Hi everyone,
I'm also very new to this and not quite sure where to start. Just when I think I am ready to take a step in one direction, I learn something new that makes me rethink everything - I'm sure I am going to have a lot of questions.
My goal for 2013 is just to pay off (hopefully PFD) some baddies on my CR and to keep anything else from hitting my already battered CR. I'd also like to get another line of credit within 6 mos. so that I have two lines of credit. Currently I just have one CC, Sec. Cap One $200 that I have had for about a month. I'd really like to get a mortgage sometime in 2015 - 2016 ( I estimate that it will take me probably 2 years to get an acceptable credit score for a decent interest rate) and I'm working on all of the VA requirements to get there. Looking forward to hopefully seeing some big improvements in my score in 2013!
Im new home owner not my first home, retired with no job and cant get a house loan even though my husband and i paid house in full. I just cked my equifax and fico score and its 698 yeh !!!! now I guess i need a job to get a loan for upgrades on the home?????
fico female
Hello, well after only 6 months of attacking my credit score in 2012, I was able to see an increase of 45 points on Equifax! I went from 678 to 732!!, and this was largely due to..... applying for credit cards! Yes, each time my score would go down a little, but then it would shoot back up! I have really prepared myself to be in a good position to apply for credit, so now I'm reaping the rewards and hoping to keep it increasing and managing my credit wisely. I went from having 1 credit card before joining these boards to now having 7. I don't keep a balance on any of them, but am using them to build my credit and get the rewards!
My goal for 2013 is to see my score over 750 across the board. I'm not sure what it will take, but probably, mostly, gardening! Letting those existing accounts begin to mature and increase my average age of accounts (AAoA) is probably what will help me see gains in my score this year, plus let all those inquiries fall off! Maybe in the middle of this year I can consider app'ing for more cards if there are good deals for rewards / bonuses at that time.
I've appreciated the help on these forums so much, and have referred my family and friends to come join as well because it is so beneficial! Having a supportive,
knowledgeable group of people to learn with and from is helpful! Here's to 2013!
Our first ever monthly check-in thread is now up! Feel free to pop in and tell us about how you're doing so far!
Hi everyone. I'm hoping to be approved for the Venture card I just applied for. Along with that, I hope to buy a house by early 2014 and/or have a 800 FICO score. I believe the only thing holding me back on scores right now are AAoA and the one inquiry for the aforementioned card I applied for.
In any case, I'm still feeling good about my credit and hope it serves me well in the coming days.
Hi everyone,
I am trying to improve my credit scores, this is why I recently joined this amazing community. My goals for 2013 are to achieve 640 across the board which I intent to do by increasing my revolving line of credit and making every payment on time.
Hi all!! I am also new to these forums, and have been lurking around for a few weeks getting some education. And what an education it is! I cannot believe how much I have learned in such a short amount of time.
After a rough couple of years job wise, I am ready to get back on track and tackle this credit mess I got myself into. I am currently working to remove some baddies off both my and my wife's report through GW and hopefully payoff some CO's through PFD in th enext month or so. Hopefully it all works out as planned as we would like to move to a home more suitable for our growing family.
My scores are pretty low right now, about 550 FICO EX, and i am hoping that by removing some of these baddies and getting some new cards, already got a secured Capital One on the way, that I can boost our scores enough to qualify for a mortgage in the next year. This is my ultimate goal, along with getting a handle on credit and really understanding how it all works. As I said above, I have already completely changed the way I view this credit "monster" and am trying to get all my ducks in a row. I really appreciate the valuable information that has been posted and moderated so that we all may benefit. Thank you to everyone so far and I look forward to learning a whole lot more as I go!
I am new officially to the boards and the fitness challenge. I currently have 2 credit cards, 1 fingerhut line and a personal loan. Current FICO is 548 looking to get to 700s

Last week Ustream's SVP of Marketing, David Thompson, and the Vice President of Digital & TV Entertainment at Emmis NY, Lin Dai, hosted a workshop at PRSA's 2013 International Conference in Philadelphia titled "Live Video Meets PR and Advertising: How to Extend Your Reach and Win New Customers." It became clear during the workshop that publicists are interested in integrating live video into their publicity plans, but many of them either didn't know where to start, or they already had a plan, but weren't sure how to get the best ROI. Integrating video into your B2B and B2C plans has been such a hot topic lately; we're fielding inquiries like these more and more lately. And because we get questions like these so often, I decided to write an article highlighting David and Lin's five points for how to seamlessly integrate live video into your publicity plan.

VMware Inc. (NYSE: VWM) sells software integral to the operation of websites and other network computing resources. VMware's virtualization software can make multiple physical computers behave like a single, ultra-powerful "virtual" machine, or split apart a single physical machine and make it behave like multiple computers (for example, to host several different websites on the same server). With virtualization software, websites can be run more cheaply and reliably by allowing webmasters to deploy resources "virtually" on an as-needed basis, rather than forcing them to keep excess capacity up and running to handle occasional traffic spikes and crises. In addition to software sales, 30% of VMware's revenue comes from services such as maintenance and upgrades and training. These revenues are recurring and create steady, ongoing cash flows.
One of the main barriers to the penetration of virtualization technology is the perceived complexity of implementing a virtualized system. VMware is currently the leader in the virtualization market with an estimated market share of 80%.[1] The main risk to VMware's long-term success is impending competition from Microsoft, which also offers virtualization software. VWware is ready to move into Microsoft's customer base by offering more than virtualization as witnessed with its recent acquisition of Zimbra, a provider of open source email and collaboration software. VMWare is gearing up to tap into the Microsoft Exchange market by combining its virtualization technology with the Zimbra email platform.[1]
VMware's customer base includes organizations of all sizes across numerous industries and includes 100% of the Fortune 100 and approximately 96% of the Fortune 1000.[2] The company's solutions enable organizations to aggregate multiple servers, storage infrastructure, and networks together into shared pools of capacity that can be allocated dynamically, securely, and reliably to applications as needed, increasing hardware utilization and reducing spending. VMware is organized around providing solutions for three major IT predicaments: reducing costs and increasing operational efficiency in data centers, providing easy access to cloud computing capacity, and simplifying management and control of corporate client computing.[2]
The majority of VMware's sales are made indirectly through a system of more than 4,000 partners, including software distributors and resellers, hardware vendors who bundle the software with their products, and IT management services. VMware also regularly collaborates with tech giants Intel (INTC) and Cisco Systems (CSCO) to develop virtualization software optimized for use with these companies' hardware. These relationships are quite close; both Intel and Cisco hold VMware stock and a seat on its Board of Directors. By leveraging Intel's and Cisco's reputations in the computer hardware industry and VMware's leading position in virtualization software, the companies hope to develop a complete package of virtualization technology that addresses all of their customers' needs.

Data Center Products and Technology
VMware vSphere is the company's flagship data center platform. Users can choose to deploy the VMware ESX or VMware ESXi hypervisor when they purchase VMware vSphere. A "hypervisor" is a layer of software that resides between the operating system and system hardware to enable virtualization.
VMware also offers free data center products such as VMware Server and a free version of VMware ESXi that encourage the trial, usage, and adoption of VMware virtualization in data centers of all sizes. VMware Server is a virtualization platform that runs on top of an operating system available for trial and download by customers so they can test virtualization.
Desktop Virtualization
Personal computing and personal computing devices are undergoing change as users increasingly use multiple devices including desktop personal computers, laptop computers, thin clients, and mobile internet devices to access data and applications. In addition, users are employing various desktop operating systems including Windows, Apple OS X, and Linux to access applications that may run locally on a computer, centrally on a server, or accessed through a web page. This heterogeneity is becoming increasingly common, making it difficult to manage and secure customers' desktop environments.
VMware desktop virtualization technology decouples the entire desktop environment from its underlying device, enabling customers to create user-centric instead of device-centric desktop environments. There are two main approaches to desktop virtualization: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), where the desktop virtual machine runs on a server and is accessed remotely using a display protocol, and client-hosted virtual desktops, where a desktop virtual machine runs locally on a computer and is able to use the local hardware and peripherals. We have products in both of these categories, as well as offerings that combine both approaches.
Desktop Products and Technologies
VMware's desktop products leverage its virtualization technology to deliver desktop virtualization to both enterprise users and personal users. VMware View is the enterprise desktop virtualization platform. VMware View incorporates and extends VMware vSphere into both a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and a client-hosted virtualization solution that allows a desktop virtual machine to run centrally in the data center or locally.
VMware also sells a range of personal client-hosted desktop virtualization products including:
Applications Middleware and Management
VMware entered the Applications Middleware and Management market with the acquisition of SpringSource Global, Inc. in the third quarter of 2009. SpringSource builds and supports solutions that help organizations build, run, and manage enterprise applications, particularly those written in the Java programming language.
VMware Global Support Services
VMware offers three support and subscription programs (Platinum, Gold, and Silver) on an annual or multi-year subscription basis, that include VMware support along with access to periodic updates, bug fixes, and enhancements to products.
VMware Consulting Services
VMware Certified Professionals provide on-site assistance throughout the virtualization adoption lifecycle to accelerate the implementation of our virtualization solutions. VCPs conduct initial assessments and upgrade workshops and prepare detailed implementation project plans. Once customers are ready for standardization across their enterprise, VCPs help integrate virtual infrastructure into enterprise systems and processes.
VMware Education Services
VMware courses provide extensive hands-on labs, case study examples, and course materials. Customers work in teams of two on servers located offsite using a variety of remote access technologies.
According to tech research firm IDC, a typical x86 server (the standard for business networks) utilizes only 10% to 15% of its capacity. The reason for this is that companies often run only one application per server to minimize the risk that a problem with one application will affect numerous others. While this is perhaps the safest method to ensure that one faulty program doesn't bring the whole system down, it is also rather expensive. Using VMware's virtualization technology, companies can safely run more than one application per physical machine. VMware estimates that one virtualized server can perform the same work as up to ten standard servers; this can save firms a ton of money by letting them use their existing capacity more efficiently. As companies in competitive industries like technology, pharmaceuticals, and telecommunications, look for ways to cut overhead, VMware's virtualization software will become increasingly popular.
VMware currently dominates the virtualization market, but competition from software giant Microsoft (MSFT) could cut into the company's lead. Microsoft is the primary competitor for VMware's data center virtualization solutions. In 2009, Microsoft released the second generation of its Hyper-V virtualization offering and continues to develop virtual management products.[2] Microsoft also continues to articulate a cloud-based computing initiative. Microsoft's offerings are positioned to compete with VMware's virtual infrastructure, virtualization management, and some of its free data center product offerings. Microsoft's cloud initiative may eventually compete with VMware's cloud offerings and with cloud service providers who standardize on VMware's solutions. VMware also competes with Citrix for desktop virtualization solutions and with companies whose virtualization products are based on emerging open-source technologies.
While VMware's leading position in the virtualization industry and reputation for quality give it some protection against competitors, going up against Microsoft can be a daunting prospect for any company.
Revenues from customers outside the United States comprised approximately 49% of VMware's total revenues in 2009 and 48% of total revenues in 2008. This has opened up currency issues as the company noted margin weakness due in part to the falling dollar. It would be very difficult and complicated to hedge foreign currency exposure As such, it receives payment in a wide range of currencies; its revenue, however, is reported in U.S. dollars. Any change in the exchange rates between the dollar and other currencies in which VMware conducts business could have a significant effect on reported revenues. If the value of the dollar declines against other currencies, VMware's revenues would be boosted, as every unit of foreign currency would translate to a larger number of U.S. dollars. The same applies in reverse, however; a rise in the value of the dollar would make international sales look relatively smaller. Recently, the dollar has been weak in comparison to other major currencies; a continuation of this trend would be beneficial for VMware and other companies that do business outside of the country.
Currently, VMware leads the server virtualization industry by a substantial margin. The next largest competitor is Microsoft (MSFT), which looks poised to make a strong push into the market over the next year or two. Apple (AAPL) has released software called Boot Camp (which allows Intel-based Macs to run Windows operating systems in addition to OS X), though this is aimed primarily at consumers and (unlike VMware Fusion) does not allow the use of both OSes simultaneously. Other, smaller competitors include Novell (NOVL), XenSource (recently acquired by Citrix Systems (CTXS)), and Red Hat (RHT), though none of these companies holds more than a 2-3% share of the virtualization market. The still-growing market has plenty of growth potential for all, however; there are so many untapped customer bases that it'll be a while before the firms really start fighting over business.
One distinguishing characteristic of VMware is that it's dedicated to the virtualization industry, whereas all of its major competitors have extensive operations in other areas of the technology industry. This puts VMware in a more leveraged position; if virtualization takes off, it stands to benefit more than say, Microsoft, whose bottom line would look about the same either way. On the other hand, if virtualization were to fail for some reason, VMware wouldn't have any revenue sources.

As I matured, I felt that my search for truth was philosophical, but as I explored the question of existence without religion, I came to see that, without a God, philosophy itself does not adhere! Now I recognize (and I'm not saying I've reached an ending to questions) that my approach must be a societal one.
The Commies learned that the hard way--outlawing religion may be a way of disproving God, but it succeeds in proving (or creating) a hell on earth. No, the billions who put faith in Religion benefit from a sense of purpose, emotional comfort, and a form of community. No small product for such a low price, eh?
As you say, Atheism is unique--it requires a 'broader than most' education (not MORE schooling, mind, but education of some form). It requires a persona that 'grasps the nettle' if you will--there is a certain element of fear involved in rejecting (and here I'm speaking from my own experience) one's teachers, parents, and society insofar as agreeing to drink the kool-aid. I mean, you don't have to leave home but you do have to see home differently, less cozily.
Atheism is caviar, too. An acquired taste, not for everyone, and dangerous when over-indulged in. When I had my liver transplant, every single friend and relative--even some medical and nursing staff--said things like 'We'll pray for you', 'What a blessing', etc. I chose not to argue theology at that time in my life--I needed these peoples' support and good wishes--who was I to argue over details?
I (We, I mean, though I should say She) raised two kids atheist. They are quite comfortable with it, having never known much about alternatives, but when they were tots we were careful to keep God and Heaven in the Santa\Easter Bunny category.
And their atheisms are different, from each others' as well as mine. I think it is because atheism is not an answer, it is a rejection of some wrong ones. And what a vocabularial mine-field it is--just now I thought 'hey, don't say religions are wrong, that's too confrontational' but, well, hell they are wrong, what can you do?

I'd agree that atheists as a whole tend to lean towards skepticism - in fact, I myself came to atheism as a result of skepticism. But it's far from the entire makeup of the atheist crowd. I know atheists who believe in a young Earth, who don't believe in evolution, who believe in homeopathy, who believe in alien visitation and abduction, who are avid Bigfoot watchers...
I also don't particularly see the value of the problem of evil when attempting to disprove the existence of a god. It may prove that the god in question is a) not omnibenevolent, b) not omnipotent or c) not omniscient, but it doesn't really disprove it entirely. The rest of the arguments you mention I haven't really heard of, such as the "argument from inconsistent revelations". Can you give a more complete description?

RE: An atheistic Philisophy
I don't even like the word "atheist". It's sort of a pejorative term---at least that's the way it comes off in main stream society. I just can't stand it that this one word, which describes so little about who I am, ends up being the label that sticks. It's ironic. It's like this Jesus guy who came out and said "I don't need no stinkin' religion"--- and then shortly after, he becomes the poster boy for a major new religion (or at least an extension of the previous). I'll accept "atheist" for lack of a better word, but I don't have to like it.
RE: An atheistic Philisophy
Karen Armstrong, who is far from being Atheist, came up with a Charter for Compassion which was signed by a number of notable folks (i.e. Sir Richard Branson, a well known Atheist).
Here it is:
The principle of compassion lies at the heart of all religious, ethical and spiritual traditions, calling us always to treat all others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there, and to honour the inviolable sanctity of every single human being, treating everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity and respect.
It is also necessary in both public and private life to refrain consistently and empathically from inflicting pain. To act or speak violently out of spite, chauvinism, or self-interest, to impoverish, exploit or deny basic rights to anybody, and to incite hatred by denigrating others—even our enemies—is a denial of our common humanity. We acknowledge that we have failed to live compassionately and that some have even increased the sum of human misery in the name of religion.
We therefore call upon all men and women ~ to restore compassion to the centre of morality and religion ~ to return to the ancient principle that any interpretation of scripture that breeds violence, hatred or disdain is illegitimate ~ to ensure that youth are given accurate and respectful information about other traditions, religions and cultures ~ to encourage a positive appreciation of cultural and religious diversity ~ to cultivate an informed empathy with the suffering of all human beings—even those regarded as enemies.
We urgently need to make compassion a clear, luminous and dynamic force in our polarized world. Rooted in a principled determination to transcend selfishness, compassion can break down political, dogmatic, ideological and religious boundaries. Born of our deep interdependence, compassion is essential to human relationships and to a fulfilled humanity. It is the path to enlightenment, and indispensible to the creation of a just economy and a peaceful global community.
It can be found here: http://charterforcompassion.org/share/the-charter/
Honestly, if you take out all the religious reference, I think this could be a good start to crafting a HUMANIST charter. It would be the grounds on which MANY Atheists can base their world approach on. This would also shut up all the theists who ask the inane question "What DO you believe in?"
Just a thought.
RE: An atheistic Philisophy
I like Karen Armstrong. I think she went into theology for all the right reasons. But theology is the wrong profession for an honest "soul". She went through the front door and (over time) straight out the back. It reminds me of that line in that Genesis song--"you gotta get in to get out" (I think that was from the album with "The lamb lies down on broadway" tune). Anyway, it's a very ambitious charter---but we are a very ambitious species. So more power to her.

Castro's Spurs video pokes fun at Sir CharlesUpdated: June 12, 2013 12:13am
A little more than a year ago, Mayor Julián Castro took a YouTube jab at former NBA-star-turned-hoops-analyst Charles Barkley after Sir Charles spouted flame-throwing insults about the San Antonio River, the Alamo and local women.
On Tuesday, Castro was back for Round 2 in a 68-second video taped to air during the evening pregame show — invited by NBA TV to offer a rebuttal to more trash talk from Barkley about San Antonio's women.
Sitting behind his desk at City Hall, Castro is shown polishing four Spurs NBA championship rings. He pauses, looks at the camera and addresses Barkley. The mayor reminds the former hoopster known for his loudmouth diatribes that San Antonio is Military City, USA, that the Spurs have three superstars and that Barkley has a terrible golf swing.
As a parting salvo, Castro tells San Antonio's nemesis that at the end of this championship series, the Spurs will have a fifth ring.
"Welcome back to San Antonio, Chuck. See you next year. And GO SPURS GO!"

Ed.D. in Educational Studies
Featured Faculty
The doctoral degree, established in 1984, is offered within the Department of Christian Education at Talbot School of Theology.
The Ed.D. degree program in Educational Studies is designed to equip the "leader-teacher" to give leadership in educational ministry settings and to teach in higher education settings. The program involves two and a half years of coursework (38 units), a candidacy exam (3 units), and a dissertation. The program is designed to be able to be completed in three and a half to four years in the residential program and five to five and a half years in the hybrid-residential program.
Students come to the program already having completed a graduate degree and with significant ministry experience in the field of educational ministry. In general, doctoral students are established within a particular ministry organization and return following completion of the program. A few students are in transition in their career path. The curriculum particularly encourages critical thinking, integrative synthesis of Scripture and social science data, and original research.
Courses typically follow a graduate seminar format requiring student initiative for significant participation in class discussion. Small class sizes of 6-12 students permit such a dialogical format, an important element for promoting critical and integrative thinking.
Format Options
The Ed.D. degree program is offered in the normal residential format, or with a hybrid distance format.
Courses are offered on campus in fall (late August to mid-December) and spring (February through May) semesters. A normal full-time load is three courses, or nine units of coursework. Residential students can also take elective hybrid courses offered in November and March. (Note: Students are counted as full-time at six units per semester)
Elective Courses in the Fall and Spring semesters are usually offered as weekly on campus class sessions that permit face-to-face instruction. In early June, a one-week on campus elective module is also scheduled. A few electives are available as online courses.
Hybrid Distance
For those who cannot locally access a doctoral program in education with Christian perspectives, we offer both of our doctoral degree programs in a special format. The use of blended online and residential coursework makes it possible for students to continue ministering with their current organizations while completing their Ed.D. in Educational Studies. Both the Ph.D. and Ed.D. blended programs utilize blended courses for one week in November and one week in March for four years. Coursework precedes and follows class sessions.
Elective Courses in the Fall and Spring semesters are usually offered as weekly video-conference class sessions that permit face-to-face instruction. In early June, a one-week on campus elective module is also scheduled. A few electives are available as online courses.
Cohort Approach
New groups of students begin the program every year in November and March. Students work through the core courses together, with some choice of elective options to fit their study interests. Contact the Graduate Admissions office for more information about the schedule.
As a result of successfully completing the Ed.D. program in Educational Studies, the student will:
Demonstrate competence and ethical practices in designing and carrying out sound field research to address local or institutional needs. (ULOs: Truth, Transformation, Testimony)
Locate, analyze, critically evaluate, synthesize, and apply knowledge from the literature of the broad field of educational studies to address the needs of educational and ministry settings. (ULOs: Truth, Testimony)
Demonstrate proficiency in carrying out biblical and theological research, integrating theological and social science data to inform and guide educational and ministry practice. (ULOs: Truth, Testimony)
Demonstrate teaching abilities and skills suitable for higher educational settings. (ULO: Testimony)
Demonstrate the needed writing skills to communicate with both academic audiences and educational and ministry practitioners. (ULO: Testimony)
Give evidence of ongoing personal openness and spiritual responsiveness to God and a desire to continue to grow in relationship with God. (ULO: Transformation)
An important component of the Talbot doctoral program is the integrative synthesis of social science data within a Christian worldview perspective. Since both education and theology address the human condition, the doctoral faculty believe there is a great deal to be gained by an interdisciplinary study of biblical and theological knowledge, philosophical issues, human development, the teaching-learning process, and issues of leadership. Consequently, students are expected to come to the program with a sufficient background of theological training. (A minimum of 18 graduate units of Bible and theology is required. For those lacking these prerequisites, distance learning courses are available from Talbot School of Theology. Contact the Graduate Admissions office for further information.)
As members of a Christian university community, program faculty believe that relating one's faith to an academic discipline goes beyond the theoretical and cognitive. Opportunities for fellowship, dialogue and worship are seen as vital parts of the total educational process. Talbot School of Theology sponsors a weekly chapel service. Various discussion times over meals, a student retreat and other social activities provide an opportunity for informal, out-of-class interaction with faculty and students. Students are also encouraged to become involved in one of the many local churches in the Southern California area.
Admissions Requirements
Are you an international student? Please view the international admissions requirements
Enrollment is limited and admission is on a selective basis, therefore applications should be made as early as possible. Applications submitted after the deadline will usually be considered for the following year (residential program) or the next cohort (hybrid program).
The doctoral program seeks to admit applicants whose background clearly demonstrate scholarly aptitude, a commitment to the historic Christian faith, personal character and integrity, a service-oriented motivation toward endeavors of educational ministry and a deepening relationship with God. Biola University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnic group identification, gender, age or physical disability.
In order to be admitted to full graduate standing, the applicant must comply with the following:
- Have completed at least three years of full-time vocational experience in educational ministry with evidence of leadership gifts and abilities.
- Have earned a Master of Arts in Christian or Religious Education (MACE or MRE) or its equivalent from an accredited educational institution. Equivalence is defined as an earned master's degree of 36 semester units of graduate study in areas related to the Christian education ministry, including 18 units of graduate Bible and theology.
At least one course in each of the following areas should have been completed: Philosophy or History of Christian Education, Human Development or Educational Psychology, Educational Administration or Leadership, Interpersonal Communication/Group Dynamics or Counseling, Curriculum Design and/or Methods of Teaching. A minimum GPA of 3.25 on a 4.0 scale in all previous graduate work is required. Students whose formal educational preparation does not include all of the required prerequisite coursework must complete them prior to enrollment.
Submit and complete a Talbot School of Theology doctoral application form online along with the $65 application fee. The application will provide a place to indicate either the residential or modular format.
Submit scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Information regarding GRE testing dates and location may be obtained by visiting: www.ets.org/gre or call 1-800-473-2255 to register.
- Present evidence of potential for original academic research at the doctoral level by submitting a sample of scholarly writing (with citations and bibliography), preferably related to education, of at least 10 pages. Applicants may be asked to be interviewed by the program director or the Doctoral Program committee as a requirement for admission.
Note: Official documents presented for admission or evaluation become part of the student's academic file and normally cannot be returned or copied for distribution.
Graduation Requirements
The Ed.D. degree requires 41-semester units including 20 units of core classes and a Candidacy Exam Capstone course and 21 units of electives, plus the dissertation. The student's advisor assists in planning the schedule of courses and supervises the student's progress in the program and the development of an elective program based on the two-year projected schedule of courses being offered. Up to 3 units of graduate coursework directly related to the specialization may be taken in other departments at Biola University or transferred in from other accredited graduate institutions.
Doctoral Program Proposal
During the first term of study and in consultation with the program director, students identify the 21-unit electives program they will complete, along with the remaining core courses, to meet the 41-semester unit minimum requirement. Once approved, this schedule serves as the projected course of study. A copy of the Program Proposal is placed in the student's file. Modifications must have prior approval of the student's advisor.
Candidacy Exam
During the final semester of coursework, the student also enrolls in the TTDE 8950 Candidacy Exam Capstone course. The student completes the candidacy exam before engaging work on the dissertation. The candidacy exam evaluates the student's attainment of program study objectives.
Advancement to Candidacy
Official candidacy for the doctorate signifies an advanced stage in the student's progress and is characterized by self-directed research in the completion of a dissertation under the direction of a faculty dissertation advisor. In order to be admitted to candidacy, the student must have successfully passed the candidacy exam.
After passing the candidacy exam, the student will enroll in TTDE 8960 Dissertation (3 units) for up to three semesters. A student must enroll for a minimum of two terms of TTDE 8960 and must be enrolled in 8960 or 8970 Dissertation Extension the semester of graduation. Ed.D. dissertation students are considered full-time for a maximum of three semesters of TTDE 8960 only. Doctoral students must submit a dissertation evidencing high attainment in scholarship. Detailed information may be found in the Dissertation Guidelines Handbook.
Final Dissertation Defense
The final examination is an oral defense of the dissertation before the student's dissertation committee and other invited guests. Detailed information regarding the defense and final submission deadlines for graduation may be found in The Dissertation Guidelines Handbook.
Graduation Requirements
All students must present an acceptable dissertation, satisfactorily pass their candidacy exam, and complete all coursework with a minimum 3.25 GPA to qualify for graduation. Beyond completion of academic requirements, Doctoral Program faculty must also recommend that the student is eligible for conferral of the degree on the basis of evidence of Christian life and character established during his or her course of studies. All financial obligations must be settled. Attendance at commencement ceremonies is required when the degree is granted unless approval has been received from the Dean to graduate in absentia (see the Doctoral Program Handbook for further details).

By Sinead Carew
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Investors holding 29 percent of the outstanding minority shares of Clearwire Corp <CLWR.O> are unhappy with Sprint's $2.2 billion bid for the wireless service provider and are pushing for a higher offer.
Sprint, the No. 3 U.S. mobile service provider, announced on December 17 an agreement to acquire the outstanding shares of Clearwire it doesn't already own for $2.97 per share. While Sprint holds a more than 50 percent stake in Clearwire, the deal requires approval from holders of just over 50 percent of Clearwire's minority shares.
Securing that approval is looking increasingly tenuous, however.
Investors collectively owning almost 211 million shares of Clearwire - roughly 29 percent of its minority shares - told Reuters they do not think Sprint's bid is high enough and that they would not be happy casting their votes for the deal.
Crest Financial, which owns about 8 percent of Clearwire's minority shares, immediately sued to block the deal, for example. Crest's argument, echoed by other investors, is that Clearwire is worth a lot more than $2.97 per share as it has valuable wireless spectrum that would be crucial for Sprint.
While the 29 percent alone would not be enough to vote down the deal, its underscores the growing disenchantment Clearwire's minority shareholders have with Sprint's offer. Reuters was not able to reach all Clearwire shareholders.
For the deal to go through, Sprint needs approval from investors holding more than 362 million shares out of the roughly 725.89 million total minority shares outstanding. Share figures are based on the latest publicly available information.
Sprint said in December that it had support from three strategic investors - Comcast Corp <CMCSA.O>, Intel Corp <INTC.O>, and Bright House Networks LLC - who collectively own about 125.4 million Clearwire shares.
Excluding the almost 211 million votes from the investors Reuters spoke to and the 125.4 million shares supporting the deal, investors with about 389.8 million outstanding Clearwire shares have not disclosed if they will approve the deal or force Sprint to revise its offer.
Dish Network <DISH.O>, controlled by mercurial billionaire Charlie Ergen, made a $3.30 per share counter-offer for Clearwire on January 8, putting further pressure on Sprint to raise its bid. Clearwire's board is reviewing the Dish bid but said that the proposed deal may not be permitted because of Clearwire's existing legal obligations to Sprint.
However, the Dish bid has convinced many of Clearwire's minority shareholders that enough discontent exists to potentially block Sprint's bid.
"Sprint can't get 50 percent of those shares. They've no way to get them," said Chris Gleason, a managing partner at Taran Asset Management, which owns about 3 million Clearwire shares.
Mount Kellett, an investment firm with about 7.3 percent of Clearwire's minority shares, said Dish's offer is proof Sprint's bid is "grossly inadequate." Mount Kellett also said it is likely to be voted down and accused Clearwire's board of breaching its fiduciary duties for accepting the bid.
Another investment manager whose firm's holdings include Clearwire shares said the Dish offer was a turning point.
"If somebody was on the fence about saying no to Sprint, they're not on the fence any more," said the investment manager who asked not to be named due to their firm's policy on media comments.
"Anybody who thinks $2.97 is a full and fair value has already exited," said the person, referring to the fact that Clearwire shares have traded well above Sprint's offer price since Dish announced its bid. Clearwire shares were up 6 percent above Sprint's offer price at $3.16 on Friday.
This person described the $2.97 offer as "dead on arrival."
Sprint, which has agreed to sell a 70 percent of its own shares to Japan's Softbank Corp <9984.T>, has said that it believes its Clearwire bid is superior to Dish's offer.
Sprint argues that the Dish deal is not viable because it comes with conditions Clearwire could not accept.
While Sprint said in December that it had commitments from Intel, Comcast, and Bright House, it is worth noting that those companies have not updated their position since the Dish offer and declined to comment for this story.

First make sure that the picture that you plan on uploading as your Avator meets these requirements.
Use custom avatar
Note: the maximum size of your custom image is 64 by 64 pixels or 20000 bytes (whichever is smaller).
Then you can go to your
Custom Avator Settings
Then upload the avator from your computer using the Browse option.
If the picture is a .jpg file, then you can also use the Avator Creator Utility, that will automatically resize the avator to the correct size, it will then get sent back to you, then you just upload it.
hope this helps.

EPA wants full review of Ore. coal export project
SEATTLE (AP) - The Environmental Protection Agency has weighed in on the first of several coal-export projects in the Northwest, telling the Army Corps of Engineers that it should thoroughly review the potential impacts of exporting large amounts of coal from Wyoming and Montana to Asia.
A project at Port of Morrow in Oregon has "the potential to significantly impact human health and the environment," the EPA said, so the corps should address overall impacts, including increases in greenhouse gas emissions, rail traffic and mining activity on public lands.
A subsidiary of Ambre Energy North America needs approval from the Corps to build an off-loading facility at Port of Morrow, along the Columbia River near Boardman, Ore. Trains would carry up to 8 million tons of coal a year from the Powder River Basin of Montana and Wyoming to barges at the Port of Morrow, where the coal will be transferred onto vessels at the Port St. Helens and shipped to Japan, South Korea or Taiwan.
It's one of at least six projects proposed in Oregon and Washington to ship coal to power-hungry markets in Asia. Projects are planned near Bellingham, Longview and Port of Grays Harbor in Washington state, as well as at Port of St. Helens and Port of Coos Bay in Oregon.
Taken together, they could mean at least about 100 million tons of coal shipped per year to Asia, and environmental groups such as Climate Solutions, Sierra Club, Columbia Riverkeeper and others want regulators to weigh the bigger picture of moving so much coal through communities in the West.
"Collectively these many individual decisions will have a very dramatic impact on the region," said Jan Hasselman, an attorney for Earthjustice representing the environmental groups. "If you look at the impact only in the context of each individual decision, there's a consequence that the people most affected won't be heard."
The EPA's letter to the corps this month said it was concerned about potential problems from diesel pollution, which can cause lung damage, and coal dust, which can cause both human health and environmental concerns.
The agency recommended that the corps do a "thorough and broadly-scoped cumulative impacts analysis" that could be used in the environmental analyses of other proposed coal projects of similar scope.
"We are recommending that because of the environmental implications of this project, that a comprehensive environmental analysis goes forward, and that would include the cumulative impacts," said Kate Kelly, who directs the EPA's office of ecosystems, tribal and public affairs for the Northwest region.
"Ultimately they're the lead, they'll make the decision on whether to do an EIS and how broad that EIS should be," she added.
The Army Corps will consider the EPA's concerns as it moves forward, spokeswoman Michelle Helms said in an email.
"We are in the initial phase of the permit review process and will determine the scope of our review as we learn more about the potential impacts," she said.
Brian Gard, spokesman for the Morrow Pacific Project, said the EPA called for a cumulative look at things but did not dictate or say it would dictate reviews of the other coal proposals.
"It's ultimately up to the Corps of Engineers how broad the analyses will be," he said, adding "what we've tried to do is anticipate as many of the concerns as possible and design something that responds to those concerns."
Supporters say the coal-export projects would create jobs and generate revenue for local governments. Opponents have fought them over concerns about coal dust, pollution, train traffic, quality of life and other issues.
In the Bellingham area, SSA Marine is proposing a coal port that can handle 48 million tons of coal.
"This is a mega-project on a scale that the region has not seen," said Shannon Wright, executive director of Communitywise Bellingham, a nonprofit group that citizens formed last year in response to the project. The group has not taken a position on the project.
"We do need to look at the impact not just at the facility, but along the full train corridor from Montana through Washington," she said.
"You can't just look at what is going on at the port-site. That's not the full project. It starts with the coal being mined in the Powder River Basin, travels across the western United States and then is shipped through Asia ... That level of scrutiny should be taken for all of the proposed projects."

Vibe is an embeddable data management engine that powers the Informatica Intelligent Data Platform and can access, aggregate, and manage any type of data.
Vibe separates the design logic from the physical execution logic, so a developer does not have to know C, C++, Java, SQL or MapReduce to perform data integration. It supports a drag-and-drop interface that automatically generates the runtime execution instructions specific for your data sources, compute platform, load frequency, or data type.
Vibe shields developers and users of the Informatica Platform from needing to intimately know the underlying execution technology by translating logical designs into runtime execution logic automatically and on the fly, easily accommodating different data types, different computing platforms, and even different consumption models.
Vibe accommodates different data types,different computing platforms, and even different consumption models.
The Vibe VDM includes an extensive library of prebuilt transformations, or operators, that perform specific functions such as filtering, cleansing, matching, and masking data
The optimizer compiles data processing logic into an internal representation and analyzes the resulting data flow to optimize the volume of data moved and the use of compute resources
The executor component is responsible for translating the operators into their corresponding runtime constructs for the target platform
Vibe provides batch, real-time, and change- data-capture connectivity to a variety of data sources, including standard RDBMs, analytical appliances, mainframe, ERP, SaaS technologies, and social media
A broad range of APIs enable third-party developers to design and add new connectors to access data through Vibe

SCOTTS VALLEY -- Four-year-old Gabriella Cosner, who has been fighting a rare form of childhood cancer since March, wanted snow for her birthday, and she's going to get it, thanks to a host of Christmas angels.
Gabriella's Snow Day, a benefit for Jacob's Heart Children's Cancer Support Services, will take place 2-5 p.m. Friday at Skypark at the end of Kings Village Road.
"It's really a neat thing (when) the community comes together to make something happen," said Kristin Cosner, 36, Gabriella's mother.
The miracle started with two Seagate Technology employees, IT program manager Deb Loze and executive assistant Glenna Heller.
Loze was inspired by her 7-year-old granddaughter, who asked to have her hair cut off to help children losing theirs during cancer treatment.
She got involved in Team G's Cookies for Kids' Cancer Bake Sale in September, then started following the family's Team G blog. She noticed Kristin's post asking if anyone knew how to get a snow machine since Gabriella wanted snow for her birthday, which is on Dec. 24, Christmas Eve.
Because of Gabriella's illness, Kristin, a critical care nurse, and her husband Adam, a firefighter-paramedic, had not taken her or sister Bridget, 2½, to see the snow last year.
When Loze mentioned Gabriella's request to Heller, she said, "Let's do it."
The two women teamed up with Jacob's Heart, a local nonprofit currently assisting 28 children with cancer, and began asking for contributions. In just 10 days, they collected $1,000.
One co-worker brought a gift from his 8-year-old: $31.
Heller asked her sweetheart, Aptos photographer Joaquin Menezes, her dentist, Dr. George Yellich, and Pat Perkins, a former Seagate co-worker active in Scotts Valley Rotary. All are pitching in.
As for the snow, the two women were thinking of buying a snow machine (cost: $3,000) and donating it to Jacob's Heart when they were told about Snow Night Dec. 6 in downtown Santa Cruz. Checking with the sponsor, the Downtown Association, they decided to drive in on their lunch hour to see if they could connect with the snow delivery service.
When they got there, they found no sign of snow. Disappointed, they stopped at Peet's to order coffee and map out their next move. They talked to the driver of a truck carrying cones to block off the street but he did not know the snow vendor.
Then a man who had overheard them talking stepped forward to say, "It's me."
That man, Mike Humphries of Arctic Glacier Ice of Fremont, told them people book snow years in advance and it was unlikely the date they wanted would be available. But when he called his office, he learned he was wrong.
"You know, that date is available," he said.
His crew will crush and blow 5 tons of ice to make snow for Gabriella's Snow Day.
"The whole project has been like that," Loze said.
Scarborough Ace Hardware is donating four sleds.
"I watched my cousin go through a year of treatment," said manager Mikala Scarborough Clements. "He's 3; he's in remission."
Surf City Coffee is donating hot chocolate, and Newman's Own and Pacific Cookie Co. are donating treats. Erik's DeliCafe is helping; so is Dori Stier from Riverview Catering in Ben Lomond. Jackie Maurer, a volunteer for the American Cancer Society, is donating bald dolls from Bratz and Moxie for children in cancer treatment.
"There is so little funding that goes to childhood cancer research," Loze said. "More needs to be done."
Heller, who met Gabriella for the first time last week, was impressed by her no-complaints attitude.
"If there is any upside to this disease, it's how it unites us and brings us joy," she said.

Gabriella's Snow Day
WHAT: Play in the snow and raise money for children's cancer research in honor of Gabriella Cosner's fifth birthday. Hot chocolate, cookies and Santa Claus included. Because children with weak immune systems will participate, ill children are asked to stay home.
WHEN: 2-5 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Skypark, at the end of Kings Village Road, Scotts Valley
COST: Free, but donations requested to Jacob's Heart

Wave Trip is a rather unique musical arcade game. It sees you in charge of a "geometric astronaut," flying through a musical world saving your friends and dodging enemies, all while making music at the same time. Friends are trapped in floating bubbles, which can be burst by collecting coins dotted throughout the levels. Each coin, and in fact every object in Wave Trip, has a sound which contributes to the melody of the level, and while bumping into an enemy won't kill you, it will distort and slow down the level's tune. You can even remix and edit the levels to create your own and share them with friends.

Originally created as an online flash game as part of a 48-hour dev competition, Traal is described by its creators as a top-down "puzzle horror stealth-em-up." Its retro design looks like something from the 80s, but while Traal might look simplistic, it is trickier than it appears – especially as you're thrown straight in to the game to learn on the go. You have to navigate a dark castle-like environment without being seen by its strange-looking inhabitants, collecting discarded scrolls as you go.

For the past couple episodes, we've been trying to find a definition for a robot. This week we received an excellent one from Wendelin Reich who is professor in social psychology at the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study at Uppsala University in Sweden.
A robot is an artificial, physically embodied 'agent tool'. In other words, a thing that a large number of people call a 'robot' tends to satisfy the following criteria:
(1) It can be described as an 'agent' [more precisely put: it displays the typical properties of objects which we humans, and other animals, were evolutionarily designed to view as agents: self-propelled motion; goal-orientation; instrumental rationality etc.*];
(2) it is a physical object [as opposed to a virtual agent etc.];
(3) it has been constructed by someone else [humans or aliens, but not biological evolution];
(4) it fulfills a function for this someone [which makes it a 'tool'];
(5) and it is, or is expected to be, under ultimate control by this someone [that is, a robot is autonomous only to the extent that we allow it to be so, and a 'rogue robot' is, by definition, an undesirable aberration].
At ROBOTS we're pretty convinced with this definition and would like to know what you think! Therefore, we've started this discussion topic so that you can debate this definition and all the other great ones we've received that are listed below. Sincere thanks to all the contributors who made this debate possible!
"A robot is a physical machine manipulated to automatically perform an undesirable work function that supports a desired human outcome." Kevin Makice
"A reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks." Robot Institute of America, 1979
"A robot is a physical apparatus designed to perform a specific function. Functional complexity varies greatly – from the simple repetitive task involving little or no embedded software, to a set of complex tasks requiring decisions to be made based on parameters sensed in real time. These tasks and decisions may involve cooperation with other robots and/or assistance from one or more humans either directly or remotely."
"A robot is an intelligent machine that moves , reacts and interacts with its environment in an autonomous manner."
"A robot must be able to sense it's environment, understand that environment and make calculated and intelligent decisions to affect that environment or it's position within that environment while producing useful work without human intervention."
"A robot is a machine with a very small and very powerful processor (and or sensing devices) with an equivalent powerful software program mounted on a strong flexible frame or chassis which out performs all present machine of its time in all parameters/categories (accuracy, easy to program or instruct/easy controls,intelligent,reliable)"
"I think a robot should have to have a certain amount of autonomy, or be pre-programmed enough to do some work by itself. If it's completely remote controlled, it shouldn't be called a robot. I'm bringing this up because it seems like there are a lot of machines being used in the military and by police to disarm bombs and such, which, from what I gather, are really just remote controlled. Am I right? They look like what we think robots should look like, because they have arms and they're mobile. But my opinion is, if they can't really do anything on their own, they shouldn't be called robots!..."

My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
Hello, dastardly minions. In August, we surprised a friend of ours with tickets to go and see Evil Dead: The Musical. As an added bonus, Bruce Campbell made an appearance for a question and answer period after the show.
The show itself is a blast. It's campy, funny, and has catchy tunes like "Cabin in the Woods" and my favourite, "What the F*ck Was That?". There are line references to the original movies, and tons-o-blood (the first two rows in the theatre are referred to as the 'splatter zone').
I'm creating a quick holding cell/dungeon in my office for this year's party. I'm not about to move my desk and all its contents out of the room (I think taking all my pictures down and clearing out most of my living room accessories is enough). SO I've created some really quick, easy and cheap walls.
They are simply large cardboard boxes flattened out (I left the bottom outside edge flaps attached. This allows it to stand on its own for the small wall seen here). I draw the outlines of the boards with black spray paint. Let it dry. Then take light coloured paint watered down a little, dip a brush in (removing some of the paint from the brush) and lightly drag the brush along each length of "board".
Sometimes it can take an excruciatingly long time to create labels for your Halloween display. I've posted 2 pdf sheets in my "Wretched Resources" section under "Printable Props and Decorations". You can see the first one here and view the second one here.
I love Home Sense. They already have cast their voodoo on me with their trinkets, pillows, glassware and pretentious gourmet food items that no one really needs (yet I feel empty inside because I don't have them). And now...now they have me right where they want me.
While I was aware that Home Sense always had cookie cutters and aprons for kooky, creepy kitchen creations, I did not know that their buyer has gone out to find what I would call upscale props. Not only are they inexpensive and interesting, they are well made. Solid. Heavy. And quite attractive.
On the far left in the picture is a Frankenstein candle holder. I also picked up the Dracula one but passed on the witch and mummy made in the same style (can't afford it all, can I?).
How many of you Halloweeniacs have suffered burnt fingertips from black light bulbs? Those little glass balls of death which are cheaply made and cast hardly any light will soon be a thing of the past.
His name is Doktor Viktor Von Kreep, monster enthusiast and talented cartoonist. Some of you may be aware of the publication "1313" or his website and fares on Kreepsville Industries. These are all great, but what I want to draw attention to is his blog for Headless Spectre Radio.
The Dok has put together track lists of classic 50's/60's monster music by bands such as "The Vooduos" and "The Astro Zombies", not to mention original clips from movie trailers (including Mad Monster Party, my favourite). Go to his website for a listen, bone daddies. I promise you won't be disappointed.
My dear devilish darlings, I've been waiting a long time to share this website with you. It's Ravensblight.com, and it's a lot of fiendish fun.
You can stop in the library to read Ray's stories, or play some online horror games in the arcade, but I'm going to gently shove you down the street to the toyshop as our first stop (I tend to zero in on toy stores in real life as well). Here you will find masks, game pieces, even helmets, all made out of paper and all ready for you to print out at home. It's quite fantastic. Enjoy.
In my neighbourhood, it's common to see scores of crisp white t-shirts, towels and sheets waving like flags from breezy backyard clotheslines. I have a clothesline too, and I used it for the first time in the 11 months we've lived here. It didn't seem to help me blend in though.
It's a bright and warm sunny Autumn Sunday afternoon, and I'm outside taking a serrated knife to some curtains.
The knife worked great. Scrape it sideways along the material, it creates one pattern of runs in the material. Draw it down, and it makes another. Press harder, and you get some small tears. Perfect.
Hi-ho Halloweeners,
Just wanted to shed some light on the blight of many fright-sites. Websmasters, please. Though having a skull that jabbers its jaw may seem spooky cool, think twice and remember: moderation is key. When you buckshot your website full of flash, you are creating not only an eerie eyesore, but a potential web browser crippler. Those flickering flames, blinking eyes and flapping wings together can cause your visitor's web browser to freeze, and in the worst situations, their computers to seize.
Hello ghastly ghoulies,
I needed a break from typing up activities to post on the site, so I decided to slither through the internet and find something to entertain my grey matter while my bony fingers rested. I found three things worthy of my short attention span.
The best place to find current art and WIPs is Instagram
I'm also on Twitter but be prepared for political commentary
